...that when the insects mark your presence naught
and are inclined to scale your flesh,

...that the soft hissing of the wind caught
no more than your clothing and hair,

...that a rafter doesn't feel they ought
run, nor fight, nor intimidate, nor fear,

...that these moments, are and unfought--
stolen by life, environment, and intention,

...that all possessions frivolity bought
become as unimportant as any detail,

...that any anecdote a moral sought
couldn't cheapen the experience,

for flesh, hair, fear, intention, detail, or experience
sought, unfought, caught, bought, naught, or ought

simply are, then were, then aren't?
